2926929, A fav from high school. During the dying days of Soul Train... Posted by phemom, Tue Apr-07-15 11:54 PM
...the show would have the most random artists. They wasn't getting the big names anymore,but a lot of people on majors that had a single popping. So watching the show was less entertainment and more curiosity for me.
I'm in high school and it's a random Saturday before getting a haircut, time to see Shemar Moore (who in hindsight looked like a bootleg Ginuwine) hosting Soul Train. One of the performers was 702, who I knew had a single with Clipse that was alright so I figured 702 would perform that and be done...but they did another song first....

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!?
At this point I was fiend'nt out for anything Neptunes, and this was before the Nept's got their big run. So when I heard this I went nuts...but no one around me watched Soul Train, so when I went back to school Monday no one knew what I was talking about.
Took me 3 weeks to hear the song again (the album didn't drop for another 4 months after the show aired) by finding a promo single and it felt like forever. It's one of those songs that everyone loves when they hear it, but most don't know it exists. I think it may have gotten some late-night radio burn but that was it.
How did this song not get a video man...sigh.
